Guest siamjourney Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 To renew they want a residence certificate. Will one certificate suffice if you are renewing both a motorcycle and a car drivers license on the same day? I know this sounds like a silly question but this is Thailand...

kalbo123 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yes, they make a copy for the other one. Just had my 2 drivers licences renewed last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiniyeow Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 make sure you have your medical cert and a copy of it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siamjourney Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks kalbo123. When I went yesterday they said I didn't need the medical cert for my 5 year renewal. Just residence, passport, and old licenses. Oh, and I'm supposed to watch a one hour comedy movie about Thai driving laws. Has anyone seen this fine film? They forgot to tell me to watch the movie when I got my original licenses but I still managed to pass the written test. Educated guesses...most of the multiple choice questions had more than one answer that might be correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest siamjourney Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 "You will require both a residency certificate for the motorbike and the car." But one official certificate from a consulate is okay for both licenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 some of your questions will be answered here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/626290-buying-a-motorbike-without-driving-licence-problems/ You will require both a residency certificate for the motorbike and the car. I thought you only needed one provided that it is written on the certificate 'for motorcycle and car licence'. However, err on the side of caution as it's 500 extra baht in immigration's pocket (no receipt will be given). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyknee Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) One original with a copy is ok for both renewals. 2 copies will not work, I tried it 3 weeks ago and she wanted 1 original. When I got the original, I got 2 done at the same time (i needed one for something else) 500 baht for the 2. I'm under the impression that is an exception rather than the rule though.

Just the computer reaction tests, eye color test, and watch the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anselpixel Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Don't waste a trip to Land Transport without your medical certificate. It is now required each and every time the license is renewed. See doc for all papers needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hml367 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I have needed the medical certificate every time I have gotten the licenses. What is new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
